Transforming Your Leadership Culture

8 TRANSFORMING YOUR LEADERSHIP CULTURE

From this support, leaders individually and leadership col-

lectively can shake loose from the complacency of individual

success and elevated organizational position to deal with the

reality of telling the truth, fi nding deeper wisdom in the way

things really are, and accepting accountability for the sustain-

ability of the whole organization. Understanding and facing that

new situation requires increasingly more complex and bigger

minds that are willing and capable of dealing with the increas-

ing complexity of an ever - changing world. The willingness to

learn is the only requirement to getting a bigger mind.

Whom This Book Is For

Connected human potential is endless. As human beings we

want and need to drive and thrive to the next level, the next

potential, the next fulfi llment. It is our nature. Even so, this

book addresses fi rst and foremost executives and organiza-

tional leaders of all kinds, who see that change is necessary

but have become skeptical that lasting, sustainable change —

transformation — lies within their reach.

We think that when you believe that leadership culture is in

you and that leadership can be a boundless, emergent, imagining

creative force for change, you can construct endless new orders

of human and operational potential that transcend boundaries

and are limited only by your willingness and then your ability to

realize them. We have seen and heard and felt and experienced

this potential in leaders and organizations willing to believe in

the possibilities of their spirit, vision, and determination.

Are you ready?
